PUG03 - PUG: R Programming: A Gentle Introduction

PUG Presenter(s)

The R programming language has become a mainstream tool for working with data. This introduction will step through the data science process, using R to wrangle data and apply a machine learning algorithm. We will enable R Visualizations in PowerBi to showcase our work.

Learning Objectives:

Understand how R can be used to clean and tidy data

Understand the basics of selecting a machine learning algorithm for the problem at hand
